Update: The Cannonville release will be increased on the following schedule today

8 AM – 755 cfs

9 AM – 856 cfs

10 AM – 890 cfs

The release from Cannonsville peaked at 815 cfs around 5 PM last night. This morning it has been dropped back a little to 654 cfs until further notice. The increased cold water release should help the Mainstem temperatures during this heat wave. Lordville peaked over 70 degrees yesterday so this is a welcome relief. The Montague Flow target is at least partially responsible for the release since they have cut back the release from Lake Wallenpaupack for the weekend. While the additional cold water is certainly welcome it made for tough fishing yesterday. The increased released colored the upper river and let loose the normal algae we see when the water rises. It hit the lower river by early evening bringing some color and increased debris but most of the algae filtered out up top. We did have quite a few tiny olives out in the evening. It took a long time for the fish to get happy and there was finally some rising towards dark. Today should be better provided they keep the release steady and don’t pull any Yo Yo moves. There were a few Heptagenia hatching but they never really seemed to get going. The increased cold water will also open up more water on the Mainstem where the isonychia hatch has been stronger.
